After a long drive from Prince Edward Island and after three on the road we arrived at Harbourfront B&B. Heather, the innkeeper, greeted us warmly and showed us our room, went over the next day's breakfast. She was informative of the area and made us feel right at home. The room was bright and cheerful, updated bathroom, clean towels. Wonderful... More

We stayed Thanksgiving weekend and were happy with everything at the B&B. Heather is very friendly, helpful and eager to please her guests. Breakfast was enjoyable, and there was a very friendly atmosphere throughout. The house is older but the bathroom was newly renovated with a nice shower. A great deal for travellers and tourists.

We stayed at this property for just one night, prior to catching the ferry from North Sydney to Newfoundland. We wished we'd stayed longer as we found it to be a really restful night's sleep. We arrived later in the evening, and the owner attended to us quickly and pleasantly. The room was spotlessly clean, really quiet, warm and comfortable.... More

The hostess was very friendly and good at recommending things to do near by as well as the best way to get to the NFL which is across the street. (You can hear the Ferry horn from the B&B and it was startling at first). The rooms are clean. the bathrooms were updated but, the rooms decor has not been... More

We stayed in this B&B for an overnight stopover prior to taking the Ferry to Newfoundland. We had to get up very early for the ferry and had a self-serve breakfast in the kitchen before we went. More

Good quality for the money - especially full-week rates/off season. Breakfast different every day. Hostess very accommodating - ice when needed, room service only as required, very private. We'd go back for another long stay. More

We stopped on our way to Newfoundland and on our way back. Heather was a wonderful hostess. The rooms are clean and breakfast was great. Our group was large (10) and she made us feel like we were at home. The little extras you did for us was greatly appreciated! So close to the ferry that you could walk there.... More

If you are heading to the ferry, stay here! Reasonably priced, clean and comfortable. Innkeeper, Heather Jupp, is a very nice lady who was welcoming and accommodating. Location is just across from a Canadian Tire and Tim Horton's and a small convenience store, making it very easy to get a lot of our last minute purchases made. We had to... More

I chose this location because it is within easy walking distrance of the ferry terminal (if you use the shortcut described by the owner). They were very accommodatiing of my late arrival, and my room was comfortable if a little dated and design-challenged. Breakfast was large and hot; sausages, eggs, toast, etc. No choices offered.
